Flying Time!

Dusty does his "Vanna" impression with the Otter.

Larry Holmgren, Dusty Eroh and their students: Mi, Marty, Rick & Quinton just flew into the Alaska Range and landed on the Eldridge Glacier just about 15 minutes ago. They had a nice sunny day here in Talkeetna for packing, and a few puffy clouds on the horizon. They'll land, set up camp, make dinner and hit the hay. Tomorrow they'll start in on classes right away. For an idea of what they are up to, check out this link to our 12-day Mountaineering Course.

Pictured left to right are: Dusty, Mi, Rick, Marty, Quinton, Larry. Thanks to Leighan for the photos!Cheers, Julia
